American as Apple Pie ~ Sunday Baking With Steffi

ByGuest Post

Happy Sunday, Liberty Lovers!

Pick up line of the day: “Thy breath is like the steame of apple-pyes.” Try it! It worked for Robert Greene in 1590. Nothing is quite as American as apple pie, right?

In this video, Chef Steffi meets “I Love Lucy” in a 1950s housewife, apple pie baking extravaganza.

Did Johnny Appleseed really exist? And why is apple pie so American? I am going to make my FIRST EVER pie in this video, with a very special ingredient: a pinch of fun facts!

 

Easy Apple Pie Recipe: https://www.thespruceeats.com/easy-ap… Ingredients

2 refrigerated pie crusts

1 egg white

8 large Granny Smith apples (peeled, cored, and sliced thinly)

1/3 cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon cinnamon

 

1. Gather the ingredients.

2. Preheat oven to 400 F.

3. Unfold one of the pie crusts onto a 9-inch pie plate. Brush with egg white (this prevents the crust from getting soggy). Let the egg white dry while you prepare the filling.

4. Toss apples with remaining ingredients. Place apples closely together into prepared crust.

5. Unfold the second prepared pie crust over the apples, tucking the excess under the bottom crust. Now crimp the edges with your fingers.

6. Cut 3 or 4 slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. Brush the top of the crust with any remaining egg white.

7. Cover the pie loosely with a sheet of aluminum foil.

8. Bake 10 minutes. Remove the foil, lower the temperature to 375 F, and bake another 30 to 40 minutes.

9. Once finished baking, set pie aside to cool for 4 hours for best results.

10. Once cool, slice pie, and serve.

 

I’ll leave you with an apple pie quote from one of my favorite libertarians:

 

“You’ll see a movie about someone you hate or someone you love. Will you see a movie about grandma making apple pies? No, you won’t. Only if grandma has poisoned the neighbor or is suspected of poisoning the neighbor through her apple pies.” – John McAfee
